What should the West do? Lift sanctions to save millions from starvation – in other words, capitulate to Russia’s blackmail? Attack the blockading Russian ships to clear the way? Ignore the millions starving and keep the sanctions? Or what?

The blockade is just a counter-tactic to the Wests tactics against Russia, who are “supposedly ready to talk to anyone seeking a peaceful resolution of all problems.”
They may or may not be ready to talk, but the E.U. and U.S. seem more intent on escalation than a peaceful resolution.
And how ironic that the globalists of the WEF are fretting about the war causing famines, while their own Climate Change and Covid manufactured crises are the number one causes of it.

I agree with you about the hypocrisy of the WEF. But what decision should the West make about the Russian blockade? Do nothing and let millions in Africa and the Far East starve? Or capitulate to Putin’s evil blackmail?

They need to get serious about negotiating.
Come to some kind of compromise that will end the hostilities and the blockade.
Kissinger and all those other statesmen back in the day may have been among the first globalists, but at least they had some halfway decent skills at diplomacy and negotiations. That seems to have become a lost art these days.
And worse than that, those in power now have no interest in even trying - they want to escalate it in order to enrich themselves off of it.
Putin has stated his terms of negotiation: “Lift the sanctions and I’ll let the grain through.”
What signs are there that he will concede anything else? That he is willing to negotiate anything more?
The dilemma for the West is clear. Capitulate and save millions from starvation, or hold firm. At the moment, on this urgent issue, there is no third choice.
So which should it be?

We may not have any guarantee that he will keep his promises, but we won’t find out unless we try.
If we do nothing (except send more money and arms to Ukraine, like we have been) it’s guaranteed the war - and the famine - will escalate.

So end the sanctions?
Even though Putin’s only concession - which he might make, but as you say we have no guarantee - is to let the grain through, not end the war?
So he will go in fighting. And the West should do nothing to stop him, or to hinder him, or to help Ukraine?
Negotiating isn’t doing “nothing”. And continuing the war - which could drag on for decades, like Afghanistan - is only going to bring more global instability, economic collapse, and famine.
And although they may not have orchestrated it (who knows) that plays right into the globalists plans.

What cards will the West have in hand to play - to negotiate with - if it lifts the sanctions?
And what would Putin have to fear if the West not only lifts the sanctions but stops giving money and arms to Ukraine? In other words, why would Putin negotiate when he could get all he wants by fighting on?
Since we’ve already given them that 40 billion, they’re locked into escalating the fighting. Lifting the sanctions would be contradictory at this point.
We may have already reached a “point of no return”.
